We are starting to transition from truck/cab work to internal habitat work. We have been doing a lot of schedule and task planning behind the scenes. We have a big list of tasks required to finish the truck. We have the list divided into several categories based on type of work and with a goal of starting test trips in the next 2 months. Some things can wait until spring, so we are concentrating on getting the truck ready for basic uses. A lot of the upcoming work is centered around designing small details of the habitat interior.
